Backpacker lifestyle
So.....we are loving the Marriott. It seems so plush to what we have become accustomed too. They have such nice things as washclothes! Anyway, I feel slightly out of place here. It seems to extreme of a jump to go from dread locked smelly backpackers to fat germans (the resort is loaded with them). We also have carried some backpacker lifesytle options over to the Marriott which makes it tough. No way are we eating the $15 breakfasts, so its yogurt and museli for us. $9 burgers - No Way! Its PB&J for us. We have a Tesco (british wal-mart) across the street so its easy to shop, and we have a fridge so we can store beer, jelly and yogurt in our room. But it does feel a little silly sitting on a plush bed eating a PB&J....oh well 3 more nights till we go back to our normal lifestyle.

I thought you might have a bit of a culture shock after your pretty basic lifestyle. It's good to hear about that PB is available in Thailand--it sounds like you have all the backpacker food groups covered: PB, yogurt and beer
ReplyDeletewell i was planning on emulating you in my (future) round the world tour and spending ritesh's marriott points at a resort--but no more! c'mon! i'd be ordering room service at least 3 times a day. although i do love tesco. Have fun! Rebecca
ReplyDeletethe view from your room is awesome. And yes, those tiny bananas look perfect for me.

the marriott looks like a dream come true...perfect for monster naps! I bet even the PBJ tastes better there. Miss & love y'all!
